WILLIAM HART,- OFKIRKSVILLE, MISSOURI.

WATCH HAND AND ROLLER REMOVER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 264,531, dated September 19, 18 82.

Application filed May 29, 1882. (Model) class to which the tool belongs, reference being had to the annexed drawing, making a part of this specification, in which- A A represent the jaws of the tool, and B the slide, the shanks O U forming springs which cause the jaws to open when the slide is drawn back. The shanks extend through to the outer end of the handle, and each con-' tains a groove, H, on the inside extending lengthwise from one end to the other. A wire, D, passes through these grooves H H, which form together a round hole of larger diameter than the diameter of the wire D. On the outer end ofD is a thumb-piece, D, while upon the other end is cut a screw, (seen at F",) which passes through the threaded bar E, which is 'located loosely in hearings in the jaws of said hearings, being larger in cross-sectional area than'the bar E.

The tool is applied by holding the handle upward and pressing the jaws together under the hour-hand, when the slide drops down and holds them fast. The hands are then removed hoth togetherbyturningthescrewbythethumbpiece D, meantime guiding the point of the screw to the center of the bar E. Rollers are removed in the same manner, a hole being provided for the pivot of the stall, as seen in the end of the screw at F.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- I The combination of the tapering springshanks (J 0, provided with jaws A. A and grooves H H, the clamping-slide B, the wire D, having screw-thread F, and the threaded bar E, located loosely in larger bearings I I in thejaws A A, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
